Some maybe ashamed to be here ? Some maybe married and looking for sex and don't want to be identified, some may just not understand how nice it is to share a bit about oneself...on the other hand there are those who share way too much information...haha
I know of one gal who is 'seeing' a married guy. Each time she feels guilty she makes her profile public to go trolling, then when she and the married guy hook up again, boom! it's private.
You use the settings so no one can email except thru EONS or really know much so I don't get it either...
I think all of the above possibilities are likely, but there is one more that I can maybe shed some light on. First, to be clear, my profile isn't private, but . . .
When I first visited EONS, I had never been to a chat room. I didn't know anything about Facebook or MySpace or even the AARP discussion groups. I didn't really know how a website like this works or how much information people would be able to access about you. I was afraid if I put too much information out there, some lunatic would be at my door lusting for my shriveled, senile body. Just recently, a young woman was murdered when she answered a Craig's List ad for a babysitter. So I had to work my way through that fear.
Also, there was the matter of family skeletons in the closet. I was pretty sure if I started hanging those skeletons on my profile, some family members might be a tad miffed. I needed to learn how to communicate honestly without necessarily personalizing every subject.
I decided the best way to approach this was to move forward slowly, figuring that was better than leaping forward and then having to try to pull everything back in.
I am really enjoying this experience, and while I don't know the details of your personal life, I am finding people who I know I like. Oh, and the lunatic did show up on my doorstep but he said he was only interested in replacing my roof so I put my clothes back on and told him where he could go.
HAHAHAHAH an attack of shingles eh ?
at least the secret profiles are honest in a weird kind of way..I wonder how many are just bullshit? I like to make friends and have learned a lot from discussion groups on eons so I put my profile and my thoughts out there so people can make a decision based on reality as to if they want to know me or not.
I just wonder why people don't post their pics in the avatar box, I swear i am getting to the point that i think I am talking to a bunch of dogs and cats.
Who is that, oh it's the black and white cat, or this is the brown chihuahua.
I am the dog whisperer.
Want to see a picture of me in the shower?
I'm sure if someone were REAL intent on tracking me down from my profile info they probably could.
So?????????
